base 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2 =================== - general bugfixes/corrections: - installation of libncurses was modified: now /usr may have an own filesystem - modify-user now shows correct confirmation question 'Change home directory (y/n)?'. - Bugfix: corrected some permissions of programs using PAM, e.g. /usr/bin/passwd - Bugfix: dirname bug in edit script - Bugfix: 00-Bug in /var/install/bin/list-packages - Bugfix: index-Bug (complete URLs in index.txt) in install-package script - Extension of PATH (/usr/local/bin) in script /sbin/setup (important for calling setup while using su) - update of netcalc (current fli4l-Version 2.1.x) - Bugfix: corrected permissions of /var/run/utmp - Bugfix: corrected configuration file of Cron - ECE: edit-conf.cui now reads config values in both string formats: "a value" and 'a value' - ECE: expression files now allow usage of character '#' in messages and expression values - ECE: c-like string escapes such as '\n' or '\t' are no longer converted to character codes reading config values - ECE: new command line option "--version" implemented - ECE: reworked processing of optional values - ECE: visibility of values related to opt-nodes corrected - ECE: '\r' characters (DOS file format) are now ignored reading files - Bugfix: unrequired hosts.allow/hosts.deny file will now be removed in /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles - Bugfix: file permission of file hosts.allow/hosts.deny will now be set if no initial file version had been found in /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles - Bugfix: corrected error messages in /var/install/include/techo - for package developers: - new function "printvar" for formatted output of config variables was included into the eislib (configlib) base 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1 =================== - general bugfixes/corrections: - correction of wrong symlinks libz -> libssl and removal of troublesome libcrypto.so.0.9.7 in /lib/ base 1.0.11 -> base 1.1.0 ========================= - general bugfixes/corrections: - nslookup / nslookup.help Added missing helpfile for nslookup - Environment variable LC_ALL=C added to /etc/profile - Advanced configuration file handling Display of lines (line 2: ... line 1: ...) was faulty and is correct now - Configuration Logrotate syslogd The configuration for rotation output file(s) of syslogd was faulty in case of messages were written to a device (e.g. /dev/console) or messages were sent to another host (@IP-address or @Host) Generation of file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog was fixed - Correction for /var/install/bin/update-inittab A special error condition resulted in message: "/var/install/bin/update-inittab: [: too many arguments". The problem was fixed. - new features: - at command The at command was not operable, because the necessary environment was missing and the atd daemon was never started. With the new base option START_ATD this can be controlled. Beside the at command atq (display open jobs), atrm (remove open jobs) and command batch were included. In file /etc/at.allow you have to add all those users that are allowed to use the at command (default: only root). - update/completition of the coreutils (version 5.2.1) - gettext (0.14.1) and libiconv (1.9.2) are included in package base - libssl 0.9.7g now is included in package base - updated lilo to version 22.6.1 - updated libz to version 1.2.2 - new features setup/administration: - new menu item to change user specific data - eisfair configuration editor (ece) A special editor for eisfair configuration files was included. This editor can be activated using the setup menu: -> System administration -> Base configuration -> Set eisfair configuration editor Choose ece from the list as your editor. Keep joe, vi or an other editor different from ece as fallback editor for ece is not able to work with all configuration files. - Default configurations for base (base, cron, environment) are now available. All these configurations are checked after changing. - In function "Remove package" it is now possible to choose a package on every page. - User administration now uses pwdutils (2.6.4) for create/delete/ change users or groups. - User administration was extended by a menu item to change user parameters, e.g. comment, shell or home directory. - for package developers: - New menu fileformat Based on the redesign of the menu fileformat now most common functions (doc, edit, menu, init.d) can be used without the need for a package specific script in /var/install/bin/. A suitable menu for ACFH is included. The ACFH scripts were adapted to the new menu fileformat. Usage of package names 'template' and 'master' now is prohibited using add_advancedconfigmenu and del_advancedconfigmenu for this could destroy some important files. - shell library /var/include/inetlib This library offers a collection of functions for determining current settings of network interfaces. In order to use this library the definitions have to be included into your shell script. This is done by executing . /var/install/include/inetlib The library inetlib provides the following functions: get_interfaces() get list of interfaces get_interface() get name of interface get_ipaddr() get IP address of interface get_netmask() get netmask of interface get_broadcast() get boadcast address of interface get_network() get network of interface - New version of library ncurses 5.4.0 - Some more regular expressions from fli4l where added to base.exp - Extensions of script /var/install/bin/ask ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- base 1.0.10 -> base 1.0.11 ========================== - general bugfixes/corrections: - bugfix in /var/install/bin/install-package: export index_url ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- base 1.0.9 -> 1.0.10 ==================== - general bugfixes/corrections: - processing of editor backup files will be omited in /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles - creation of directory /dev/pts - if missing - correction of major/minor of /dev/ptmx - addition of pts-entry in /etc/fstab - if missing (bug in eisfair-Installer 1.0.7) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- base 1.0.8 -> 1.0.9 =================== - general bugfixes/corrections: - synchronisation between 1.0.8 of 2004/12/24 and 1.0.8 of 2004/12/31 - Bugfix: Usage of wget with option -O - Correction of a faulty deinstall-script of package 'eisfax' - removed unnecessary debug output from /var/install/bin/remove-user - removed errors, added features to /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles - added primary handling for hosts.[allow|deny] in /tmp/install.sh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- base 1.0.7 -> 1.0.8 =================== - general bugfixes/corrections: - correction of permissions /dev/capi* - correction of permissions /var/run - correction of an infinite loop in the edit-script - correction in base.exp - ABS_PATH: "/" will be accepted as an absolute path. - On deleting an user (remove-user) now the according entries in /etc/group (created by "Add user to additional group") will be deleted. - A potential security leak in remove-user was closed (Interim file with wrong permissions) - 8 bit-charset support for the shell (bash) by changes in /etc/inputrc - if Kernel 2.4.x, then load rhinefet instead of via-rhine - system boot: - new: during system boot (after mounting the filesystems) all scripts with the prefix S in /etc/init.d/boot.d are executed with parameter start (e.g. S01cleanup which deletes all remaining .pid-Files and Lock-Files). After execution of these files the scripts to reach a runlevel are executed (e.g. /etc/rc2.d). The scripts in /etc/init.d/boot.d are used to "clean up" during system boot prior starting all common services. - New features setup/administration: - setup menu: Menu changes trough install/deinstall of packages now will be active immediately, new base and eiskernel versions will be displayed immediately. As a result a re-logn as user eis is not required anymore. - package-installation Due to security reasons (wget) the downloaded file will be named /tmp/package.tar.bz2gz. - package-installation: CDROM automount - support for ehci based usb host adapters - Packeis-search The new menu entry "Search packages with Pack-Eis" allows a direct search and installation of packages with pack-eis. - ACFH - Advanced Configuration File Handling The comparison of two configuration files was corrected. Both files now are sorted prior comparison. This prevents errors in some cases but does not keep the order of the original files in the result. - extension list-users: - The output if ftp is allowed (column FTP) now checks several parameters of the inet-package (FTP_USE_PAM and the file /etc/ftpuser, FTP_ALLOW_ROOT_ACCESS, FTP_ONLY_ANONYMOUS), as well as the entries in /etc/shells. - The new column Valid-PW shows per user if an valid password in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow exists. The value '*' or '!' in /etc/passwd indicates an invalid password. - changes add-user: Errors during password-entry can now be corrected. The query is repeated twice. - for package developers: - extension of the ask-script ask can now be used for any question (not limited to yes/no): - choice between given options - free text enty - number enty (with min + max) - EISLIB - Include library for shellscripts - Centralization of the most common commands of package-scripts. All commands act specifically if called from tty or under control of a browser - anykey - clearhome - mecho: echo with predefined color values (accorting to status) - techo: output of tables - New interface for modification of system files added: - /etc/hosts.allow - /etc/hosts.deny - /etc/services - /etc/inittab - New script /var/install/bin/set-access-rights for setting file permissions based on a new file -files.txt in /etc/filelist.d . - base.exp: Parameter "PORT" added. (numerical value 1-65535) - changed add-user: new option -d for creating an user without login authorization and therefore without interactive query of a password. - changed remove-group: With the option -f (force) now groups with ids less than 200 or higher than 65534 can be deleted (groups for system users). This option should be used extremely cautious like the according option of remove-user. - require-package: The require-package tag now can be used with the package name instead of the filename of the package info file. The path to the package info file has to be provided in a new index-file. example: perl 1.0.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- base 1.0.6 -> 1.0.7 =================== -
